CENTERING

My feet are flat on the floor,
My back is straight
And not touching the back of the chair.
All the papers are filed away
And the bookshelves tidy.
You are on your way somewhere.
I am clean, clothed, fed,
If I want to hear music
I’m free to put something on
Or go buy a ticket.
The neighbors are quiet,
It’s neither hot nor humid,
I remember clearly I don’t want a drink,
Besides, I’ll see my friends tomorrow.
You will be back.
Now to choose what I want to do,
Do it and be done.
